PLEASE HELP, I'M DUMB AIR INTAKE

I am looking for an intake for my 2006 elise. I was interested in the Fujita system, however, I understand it does nothing for HP, not even 1HP. I am interested in a better performance increase and not just noise. Can anyone tell me if it is worth the money? I know there is a learning ECU and after the 1st few miles it will go back to the automatic tune and not make any difference. I have no mods on my elise besides some cosmetic stuff. I am thinking about a BWR supercharger in the next year, so I would like for whatever i do now to be ok with that SC mod later on. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT.

thanks
Ben
